The Gift of the First Advent: Love That Saves | Pastor Bill Sizemore

Synopsis: This sermon, “The Gift of the First Advent: Love That Saves,” part of The Power of the Gospel series, explores why we need a Savior and how Jesus fulfills that need. Starting with Isaiah 2:2 and its connection to the Song of Moses, it highlights God’s plan to redeem humanity from sin. Drawing from John 3, it emphasizes the necessity of being born again, contrasting Adam’s sin, which brought death, with Christ’s obedience, which brings life. The message calls listeners to reflect on salvation, share the gospel, and recommit to following Christ. It reminds us that the First Advent is more than a manger scene—it’s the ultimate act of love that saves, offering eternal life to all who believe.

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:39–49; Jn 2:23–3:21
